The debian bug for this hasn't been touched since January of last year
and this bug has sat idle about as long.  Can we close this bug now?

  OS: Ubuntu 12.04 Server LTS x64
  HW: Dell PowerEdge T110 ii

  Integrated nic BCM5722 has connectivity issues, from time to time
  stops working, kicks out from running any session (web, ssh...
  whatever), and sometimes comes back, sometimes not, and in between you
  can't connect, you can't even ping.

  I've tried to disable all bios IPMI features, but the problem didn't go away.
  I've tried on all speeds (10/100/1000) using ethtool, but the problem didn't go away.
  I've tried disabling various offload features using ethtool, but the problem didn't go away.
  I've installed second nic Intel 82579 and is working perfectly on the same network switch and cables.

  After every reboot the bcm5722 is working but then again after fiew minutes behave strange (the LED are showing correct states) and no connectivity.
  The server is brand new so I think is not a hardware issue.
